In this paper a parametric study using an immersed boundary method has been carried out to investigate the effects of stable density stratification on the wakes past two identical three-dimensional hills aligned in tandem. The Reynolds number based on the uniform inlet velocity and twice the hill height was fixed at Re=300 while the Froude number based on the inlet velocity and the hill height was retained at Fr=0.2. Neutral flow without density stratification was also computed for comparison. Under a strong stratification, vertical motion of fluid particles over the three-dimensional hills is suppressed and the wake structures behind the hills become planar. Depending on the distance between the two hills, the flow pattern of each wake is significantly affected by the stratification. There is a critical hill distance at which flow characteristics drastically change. Qualitative and quantitative features of the wake interaction are reported.

The characteristics of flow past a square cylinder submerged under the free surface have been numerically studied. An immersed boundary method was adopted for implementation of the cylinder cross-section in a Cartesian grid system. Also, a level-set method was used to capture the interface of the two fluids. The case for Reynolds number 150 was examined. At the specific Reynolds number, by varying the gap ratio(0.25, 0.40, 0.55, 0.70, 1.00, 1.50, 2.50, 5.00) the effects of the free surface on the force coefficients and Strouhal number of vortex shedding were identified. The presence of the free surface very close to the cylinder significantly affects the shedding pattern, resulting in considerable deviation of the force coefficients and Strouhal number from those of the single-phase flow. In addition, the influence of Froude number was considered in this study. By increasing Froude number(0.2-0.4), flow topology change was identified at the specific gap ratios(0.40, 0.70, 1.50, 5.00).

Wave-body interaction is simulated using a developed code based on the flux-difference splitting scheme for immiscible and incompressible fluids and the hybrid Cartesian/immersed boundary method. A free surface is captured as a moving contact discontinuity within a fluid domain and an approximated Riemann solver is used to estimate the inviscid flux across the discontinuity. Immersed boundary nodes are identified inside an instantaneous fluid domain near a moving body, then dependent variables are reconstructed at those immersed boundary nodes based on interpolation along local normal lines to the boundary. Free surface flows around an oscillating cylinder are simulated and the computed wave elevations are compared with other reported results. The generation of a solitary wave by a moving wave-maker is simulated and the time histories of wave elevations at two different points are compared with other results. The developed code is applied to simulate body motion of an elastically mounted circular cylinder as a solitary wave passes the body. The force acting on an elastically mounted cylinder is compared with the force acting on a fixed cylinder. Grid independency of the computed body motion is established based on a comparison of results using three different-size grids.

Purpose: This study was conducted to find the optimal freezing method and storage conditions for welsh onion. Methods: Cut welsh onions (0.3 cm) were packed in nylon/linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) film bags, and frozen utilizing still-air freezing at -$20^{\circ}C$ (SAF20) and -$40^{\circ}C$ (SAF40), and immersed-liquid freezing at -$40^{\circ}C$ (ILF40); they were then stored at -$20^{\circ}C$ for 7 months. During storage, quality characteristics were measured monthly. Results: Drip loss was the lowest in the ILF40 packaging. Color difference in the stem (white part) did not differ significantly according to freezing conditions and storage time. Color difference in the leaf (green part) and stem was the lowest in SAF20. pH remained unchanged, while total aerobic bacterial count, pyruvic acid and moisture content decreased during storage. Pyruvic acid content of ILF40 was the highest among the freezing treatments. Fructose and glucose contents increased gradually during storage. Citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid and fumaric acid contents were unaffected, regardless of the freezing conditions. Conclusion: The optimal freezing method for welsh onions with the least quality changes was determined to be immersed liquid freezing, following by preservation up to 7 months by freeze-storing.

Flow-induced forces on two identical nearby circular cylinders immersed in the cross flow at Re =100 were numerically studied. We consider all possible arrangements of the two circular cylinders in terms of the distance between the two cylinders and the inclination angle with respect to the direction of the main flow. It turns out that significant changes in the characteristics of flow-induced forces are noticed depending on how the two circular cylinders are positioned, resulting in quantitative changes of force coefficients on both cylinders. Collecting all the numerical results obtained, we propose a contour diagram for drag coefficient and lift coefficient for each of the two cylinders. The perfect geometrical symmetry implied in the flow configuration allows one to use those diagrams to estimate flow-induced forces on two identical circular cylinders arbitrarily positioned in physical space with respect to the main flow direction.

Heat transfer on two identical nearby circular cylinders immersed in the uniform cross flow at Re = 100 and Pr = 7.0 was numerically studied. We consider all possible arrangements of the two circular cylinders in terms of the distance between the two cylinders and the inclination angle with respect to the direction of the main flow. It turns out that significant changes in the characteristics of heat transfer are noticed depending on how the two circular cylinders are positioned, resulting in quantitative changes of heat transfer coefficients on both cylinders. Collecting all the numerical results obtained, we propose a contour diagram for averaged Nusselt number for each of the two cylinders. The perfect geometrical symmetry implied in the flow configuration allows one to use those diagrams to estimate heat transfer rates on two identical circular cylinders arbitrarily positioned in physical space with respect to the main flow direction.

This paper deals with coupled electromagnetic-thermal field analysis for thermal fluid analysis of oil immersed power transformer. Electric power losses are calculated from electromagnetic field analysis and are used as input source of thermal field analysis based on computational fluid dynamics(CFD). Particularly, In order to accurately predict the temperature rise in oil immersed power transformer, the thermal problem should be coupled with the electromagnetic problem. Moreover, to reduce analysis region, the heat transfer coefficient is applied to boundary surface of the power transformer model. The coupling method results are compared with the experimental values for verifying the validity of the analysis. The predicted temperature rises show good agreements with the experimental values.

As a follow-up of our previous studies on flow-induced forces on two identical nearby circular cylinders immersed in the cross flow at Re=100 and flow patterns past them,$^{(1,2)}$ we present Reynolds-number effects on the forces and patterns by further computing flows with Re=40, 50, 160. We consider all possible arrangements of the two circular cylinders in terms of the distance between the two cylinders and the angle inclined with respect to the main flow direction. Collecting all the numerical results obtained, we propose contour diagrams for mean force coefficients and their rms of fluctuation as well as for flow patterns and Strouhal number for each Re. These diagrams shed light on a comprehensive picture on how the wake interaction between the two cylinders alters depending on Re.
